Another Like Me - Part I (CoTE x OC) ✔

SS.7 - Hot Guys (Mori Nene)

I stared at the clock with hostility.

Five more minutes.

I turned my head around to look at the others.

Chiaki Matsushita was nervously biting her pencil, and was staring at the clock. Kei Karuizawa was nervously biting her pencil, and staring at the clock. Maya Sato was nervously biting her pencil, and staring at the clock. Shinohara Satsuki was nervously biting her pencil, and staring at the clock.

I was sure that this was the scene in definitely all the other classes.

Because today, 3rd October, was a very important date for all girls of the First Year.

The moment of truth.

I stared at the clock once again.

Four more minutes.

Ahhh, why is it ticking so slowly!?

Alright, looks like there isn't an option.

I need to start counting down the seconds.

There's no way I can handle the stress of waiting for so long.

240.....

239.....

238.....

237.....

236.....

4.....

3.....

2.....

1.....

Yes!

The bell outside gave out the oh-so-satisfying ring, and almost everyone in class stood up immediately.

We left the classroom without uttering even a word to each other, and ran back to the dorms, as the boys watched us in confusion.

I ran with all my might, ignoring everyone along the way.

The event was too important to miss.

I ran up the stairs all the way up to the 9th floor, where my room was situated. I don't have the patience to wait for the elevator.

I slammed my dorm room door open, and closed it as soon as I walked in.

I threw my school bag on the bed, and immediately opened up my mobile phone, and navigated to the link that was posted on the All Girls Union.

Finally.

There it was, in front of me, on the screen —

The revised voting poll for the boys, which is held on the 3rd of every month.

Last month's topper was Hirata Yosuke.

But I have a feeling it was going to change this month.

My fingers trembled as I clicked on the dropdown list to vote from.

My trained eyes searched for just one name, and I scrolled feverishly through the list.

And at last, I found him.

Takeyama Keisuke.

The runner-up of last month's poll.

The real ikemen.

Without a second thought, I pressed on his name, and submitted my first vote for him. Each person is given 3 votes, so there are still 2 boys I can vote for.
